Lost Tapes: What's in your vocabulary at work?
Manage episode 416960869 series 3526333
Today's episode was created from a series that we called Safe Talk, and we're releasing this episode for the first time. While its focus is on vocabulary in the workplace, it does indeed contain very sensitive information and topics that may be triggering to some. Viewer discretion is advised.
Remember, it's our goal here to educate, empower, and uplift. But we also feel that it's our duty to inform you of things that should not be tolerated in the workplace.
You matter. Thank you.
